The days of having to attend events in person are long gone. Thanks to some significant upgrades in technology, it’s now possible to use live streaming to experience a range of activities from a home electronic device that used to only be possible in-person. Certain live venues have jumped on the live streaming trend and now try to market their events to people beyond those in physical attendance.
There are various historic venues in Beverley that may need to adapt to this new trend. By offering live streamed events, they can attract more attention and continue to thrive long into the future.
Live Streaming is a Hugely Popular Medium
We’re currently living in an epoch of real-time content, and people can’t get enough of it. No longer do we have to wait for news reports about what has happened in the past week. Now, we can be taken into the heart of the action by people live streaming on the scene. Online streamers can connect with their fans through live streaming as well, and are able to reply to comments as they show up at the side of the screen.
Certain industries have already largely pivoted from in-person operations to providing services that can be accessed at home by embracing the advent of live streaming tech. The online casino industry has used live streaming to bring the hustle and bustle of gambling houses to people in their homes. It’s now possible to play blackjack online in various live formats, including new versions like Lightning Blackjack and Mega Fire Blaze Blackjack. With live hosts presenting the cards in real time, it’s allowed game providers to expand upon the original mechanics in exciting ways while also being more convenient for many players.
Fast internet connections and state-of-the-art camera setups have made all this possible, and now we are seeing live streaming being integrated into real-world settings such as theatres to bring content to a greater number of people. There are some events around here that could benefit greatly from leveraging the technology.
Various Events in the Region Deserve Greater Recognition
It would be interesting to see some of the events from East Yorkshire going global through live streaming. The Beverley Folk Festival is one example of a multi-day event that many people would appreciate. It’s easy for locals to attend, but people from further afield rarely get the opportunity. Live streams of the action could allow more people to enjoy it and inspire bigger crowds to travel to future events.
The Beverley Minster is known for hosting various concerts and services that attract local crowds, with one recent highlight being the Glenn Miller Orchestra. There have been some live streams of the events at the historic venue, but they have only used basic camera setups. It would be wise to upgrade the infrastructure to ensure that people at home get top-quality feeds. The same could be said for East Riding Theatre, which has loads of top quality performances. These deserve to be shared with the world as much as the major National Theatre shows already have been through their NT Live service. Perhaps the best way could be for the National Theatre to partner with other prestigious groups such as East Riding to use their service to assist these more local venues in achieving the global reach they deserve.
The whole beauty of live streaming is that it gives local events and performers the chance to be experienced by people who might never have otherwise crossed paths with them. By tapping into the growing popularity of this medium, Beverley can gain more recognition for its wonderful events and may even attract more people to visit in person in the future.
